Does anyone know of dive spots on Mayne Island? Thanks for any tips you can share! Alex

Does anyone have a vis report for Keystone Jetty from dives this week or recently? thanks! Alex

I'm planning a trip to Anilao and wanted to rent a house or private villa. There are plenty of houses/villas to choose from in Puerto Galera and I stayed there last year but was hoping to find something similar in Aniloa. No luck finding anything close to the dive resorts so far, so would...

I just dove at Ogden Point and although the vis was terrible, i found myself wondering if there is anywhere else in BC or WA that has higher diversity of fish, in particular, rockfish? Ogden pt. is awesome in this regard. I've seen 12 different rockfish species at Ogden (black-lots...

Do people continue diving after an accident resulting in less severe subcutaneous emphysema? If the cause of such an incident was bad diving practice rather than an underlying condition, how long do people wait before resuming diving or is it even considered to be safe to dive after such an...

Seriously, am i the only one waiting for Swankenstiens next post? someone needs to copy him and put a website together - seems like there are a lot of vancouverites with cameras! We are starving here!

I noticed the sewage malfunction at Kelvin Grove was mentioned in another post and didn't want to hijack but is that malfunction real? I saw the very unofficial looking piece of paper stuck to the baracade thingy at the entrance but discounted it as b.s. and dove anyway. Sure hope i was right...

Hey there! Is anyone interested in pairing up for some diving with the sea dragon on Saturday April 3rd? I have 130cuft tanks, so am good for long dives or short - just as long as I get to dive - send me a PM if you're game! cheers! Alex

My scubapro pressure guage has filled with water under the glass and no longer functions - obviously has a leak. Has anyone experienced this - is this common? Just curious if i should consider another brand.

I'm just curious how people feel about the populations of the crabs/scallops/octopi/rockfish/lingcod etc etc around Vancouver and Vancouver Island. I noticed in the more recent Andy Lamb book that the condition of the Rockfish populations is a sad story and just wondering about everything else...

Hey all! I've booked myself on the Peace Boat out of Ventura for Feb. 6th and 7th trips to Anacapa Island. If anyone wants to come out and buddy up for the dives let me know! Lots of space as far as I can tell. Cheers, Alex

I know that, with respect to visibility, winter is the best time of year for diving in the PNW but have heard that due to current etc., Port Hardy might be immune to some of the algal bloom issues we see in the lower mainland. Can anyone confirm this for me and perhaps, from their own...

I'd like to get a nice dive camera/setup (i.e. DX-2G) for underwater shots but also want to use the camera for topside photography. Any opinions on whether I should just get a regular camera and housing or get a nifty DX-2G? thanks!
